About Middesk
Middesk’s mission is to make it easier for businesses to work together by building the best-in-class business identity platform. Our APIs allow B2B companies to access the information, insights, and documentation they need to onboard and transact with their customers. Our products help product, risk, and finance teams make informed regulatory compliance and commercial credit decisions, confirm that suppliers meet federal and state licensing requirements, and register their customers with the necessary government agencies.
The Role
Today, Middesk works with two of the top three national banks and a significant portion of the top 50 regional banks. To best serve our banking customers, and effectively leverage our internal teams, we are building the first specialized customer team for Banking. We are seeking a highly motivated Enterprise Account Executive to spearhead this centralized team.
This specialized Banking team will take ownership for our most strategic banking customers, nurturing relationships with key stakeholders in product, compliance, risk, and executive roles across the nation’s largest banks. The team will engage in collaborative efforts to craft and implement a comprehensive strategy for bank acquisition and growth, as well as influencing the Middesk product roadmap to cater specifically to banking use cases.
As an Enterprise Account Executive, Your role will be to expand our customer base and establish inroads with potential customers by uncovering and qualifying new business opportunities within Middesk’s target market. Your success will be measured by your ability to close new business, expand existing customers, generate a strong pipeline, and collaborate across internal teams, including solutions engineering, product development, and revenue operations.
